Hello Slovenia! We going flying??

As I type we are in Kobarid in Slovenia. This is the location for the British Championship round 1 due to start on Sunday 6th. We arrived last night (Sunday) after a nightmare drive. We tried to save money by taking the back roads to Slovenia instaed of the motorway (toll roads)- BAD mistake!
We were soon crawling up and down some of the steepest roads I have ever seen - would be great on a motorbike but it was almost too much for the underpowered camper van to take! The poor thing was subjected to miles of crawling up hills in first gear then the same on the way down, stopping every 10 minutes for the brakes to cool down! Not fun and slow!
The weather here looks like it will be flyable tomorrow so we are trying to see if we can get a lift to a take off tomorrow. Most of the information on the websites seem to say 4x4 to get to take off.
Fingers crossed......
